The Simpsons is like one of the craziest cartoons I've ever watched.

The predictions were rather shocking, and if we have to work through it spiritually, I'd say it's just the power of the tongue.

They say the tongue is powerful and whatever is spoken, especially with great faith, will definitely come through.

So just maybe, nature was obeying the spoken words.

Or maybe, it's was all just a coincidence, but the only thing is that, when something occurs more than once or twice, it becomes less coincidental and more of a planned process, so who knows?
